fglrx drivers stopped working with new kernel 2.6.31-15-generic

[Paulius Sladkevičius @ hbee]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, amd64 version. My video card from Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series.
When I want to active fglrx drivers I get message "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log"

With kernel 2.6.31-14-generic everything working good.

I found that fglrx with new updated kernel don't come together. Only after following this comment now I have fglrx with new kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/284687/comments/21 .

First I saw that in with *31-14 (where fglrx working fine) I have fglrx in /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko but in /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/ I don't have updates catalog. So after fresh reinstall all packages who have words fglrx, ati, radeon, or radeonhd on 2.6.31-17-generic I got dkms with fglrx drivers.
